Recipe: How to make Butter Tea

Butter only has trace amounts of milk protein, meaning that it won’t interfere with your antioxidant absorption. Adding butter to your tea or coffee might actually increase the antioxidant benefits, since it’s well known that fats help your body absorb fat-soluble antioxidants

Ingredients

4 cups of water
Plain black tea (2 individual teabags, like Lipton’s black tea, or two heaping spoons of loose tea)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
1/3 cup half and half or milk
Materials needed: One churn, blender, or some other large container with a tight lid to shake the tea up with.

Directions:

First bring four cups of water to a boil. Put two bags of tea or two heaping tablespoon of loose tea in the water and let steep while the water is boiling for a couple of minutes.

Add a heaping quarter of a teaspoon of salt.
Take out the tea bags or if you use loose tea, strain the tea grounds.
Add a third to a half cup of milk or a teaspoon of milk powder.
Now turn off the stove.

Pour your tea mixture, along with two tablespoons of butter, into a chandong, which is a kind of churn. Churn, blend or shake the mixture for two or three minutes.
